4240 Avenida De La Encinal

Perched above the Pacific on a quiet cul-de-sac in serene western Malibu, this sensational Mediterranean Villa captures some of the most expansive, unobstructed ocean and white water views in all of Malibu. Truly forever views that span the horizon from Catalina to the Channel Islands. Set behind gates and surrounded by natural beauty and magnificent rock formations, the home offers exceptional privacy and tranquility, while still being just a short scenic drive to the pocket beaches along the Encinal Bluffs, top-rated local schools, and gourmet shops like the Vintage Market. Thoughtfully designed with tremendous volume and architectural scale, the main residence welcomes you with soaring wood beamed ceilings, wide plank floors, and walls of glass that flood the interior with abundant natural light. There is an expansive living room with fireplace and endless ocean views. The family room and formal dining seamlessly connect to a gourmet chef's kitchen, complete with a curved island, custom lighting, and premium appliances perfect for entertaining or relaxed coastal living. A trellised, ocean-facing deck off the kitchen creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow ideal for al fresco dining, BBQs, or simply enjoying the ocean breeze while watching the sun melt into the sea. The primary suite offers curved picture windows, a private ocean view deck, and a spa-like bath, while three additional bedrooms provide comfort for guests or family. In addition to a private office and studio guest apartment within the main structure, the property also offers a spacious, self-contained detached guest house with its own ocean view deck perfect for long-term guests, in-laws, or as a creative work space. Handcrafted details such as hand-painted tiles, tropical landscaping, and stone pathways add charm and character throughout. With an ample three car garage plus additional driveway parking and modern fire-safety infrastructure including a water storage tank, fire hydrants, and sprinklers this is a rare opportunity to securely enjoy the Malibu Lifestyle in the heart of nature.
